Hi there, as you can see, I'm new here and would appreciate any help you guys can give me. I've got a 1997 k1500 which I recently got cheap. It needed a trans (4l60) rebuild and transfer case (243c) rebuild whiich I had done. I just put the truck back together and it's stuck in limp home mode.

Before this happened while I was trying to get it started It ended up needing a fuel pump too) I has the transfer case trying to select hi/lo backwards and forwards with the truck parked so I un plugged it (the transfer case). when I shut the engine down I now get a sound like a relay clicking from under the dash for a minute or so after shut down and with the transfer case plugged in again, it now won't select anything.

As I'm In Australia and these things are fully imported, info is hard to come by.

 

Any ideas??

 

THANKS, Michael

Hey there and welcome to GM Trucks! :lol:

 

Not too many suggestions for your transfer case. It sort of sounds like an electrical issue. I'd start with tracing the electrics for the transfer case to make sure they are all good.

Was the transfer case and trransmission operation correctly before the rebuild? If so, you may of pinched or crushed a harness upon re-installation causing a short.

Not sure, I bought this thing at auction for way less than market price and when I got it off the tow truck it needed the tranny rebuild... Black metallic oil and wouldn't shift gears, but I'm sot sure if that was because the trans was rooted or if it was in limp mode.. I pulled the auto and xfercase myself and got the trans rebuilt but did the transfer case myself. Nothing seems to be wrong with the wiring harness, I've pulled out every wire and can't find anything wrong. I'm waiting for a code reader to arrive in the mail.

Welcome aboard :lol: It's to early to put my weak brain to work. :lol:

We'll wasn't this a useless reply.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
